Dell launches its thinnest ever monitor at 9.9mm thick

Over the years I’ve had a number of monitors and found the best viewing experience to be with Dell. That being said, I’ve only used their high-end 24-inch displays for any length of time, which are well-known for their quality.

One thing they are not though, is thin, but that’s a fact Dell is trying to change with the launch of a new, ultra-slim 23-inch monitor claimed to be the company’s thinnest ever.

The Dell S2330MX is a mere 9.9mm thick and weighs just 3.76kg. Even so, it’s capable of 1080p output using a 1000:1 static and 8 million:1 dynamic contrast ratio coupled with a brightness rating of 250cd/m2. The aspect ratio is 16:9, it has a 2ms response time, and can display 16.7 million colors. As for conenctivity, it has both VGA and DVI ports, but ships with a DVI-to-HDMI converter meaning all connectivity scenarios are catered for.

This monitor is also going to be a good choice for the environmentally conscious as its LED backlighting means power draw is just 27 watts. Dell also managed to achieve Energy Star compliance and get an EPEAT Silver rating.

When I watched the video below I was a little worried you’d not be able to adjust the monitor so it wasn’t tilting backwards all the time. Thankfully it has a good range of tilting options from up to 4 degrees forward to 21 degrees backwards.

I’m also a fan of the donut stand which is perfect for placing your wireless dongles inside and not have them slide off the back of your desk. And even with the stand connected to the display it’s still only 7 inches deep.

The Dell S2330MX is available now for $249.99 with that price rising to a maximum $338.99 is you take out the 5 year advance exchange warranty on offer direct from Dell.

Who friggin CARES how THIN a monitor is? I mean, the base has to be X just to hold it upright, so why does it matter how thin the damn thing gets? Besides that, this one has a big adapter sticking out of the back… surely that could have been designed better. With the ports pointing back, the cables become the limiting factor as to how close you can push it against the wall… much better to have a thicker panel and install the ports pointing down. Idiots.
